tv Mideastream Zionist Israels Plan for West Asia PRESSTV December 21, 2024 5:02am-5:30am IRST
5:02 am
it was far more than a moment of define. it was a legitimate act of resistance, a bold stand against decades of occupation and oppression. zinius israel sees of the opportunity manipulating the operation to tighten its grip and dismantle any lingering hope for a palestinian state. under the guise of self-defense, it unleashed a calculated campaign not just against gaza, but across the region, spreading destruction and chaos to cement its dominance. afterward, lebanon became the next target, air strikes tour through beirot and the southern heart.
5:03 am
lens, reducing entire community sur rubble. zionist israel's excuse, the resistance, but this was more than a military response, it was an attack on the very idea of opposition, and while lebanon burned, zinocisual sets its sight eastward on syria, what's staggering is how zinus israel's actions blatantly defy international law, bombing civilian infrastructure, occupying land and targeting entire populations are crimes under the geneva conventions and countless other international statutes. "if any other nation had committed even a fraction of these actions, the world would have responded with sanctions, tribunals, or even boots on the ground to stop the aggression, but instead the israeli regime is shielded, treated as an exception by the very system meant to hold nations accountable for such crimes. under the gover of regional unrest, israeli occupation forces escalated their campaign in syria, targeting critical infrastructure and weakening defenses. these weren't isolated strikes, they were part of a broader strategy to reshape the reach."
5:04 am
by capitalizing on serious vulnerabilities, the israeli regime aimed to isolate and neutralize all voices of resistance, withdrawing borders and fragmenting nations to ensure it faced no challenge to its agenda. the lack of accountability is an indictment of the international community itself. not only has zionist israel faced no legal repercussions for its actions, but it has also received political and military support from global powers. this embuldens its criminal behavior and undermines the very foundations of international law. "the flawlessness of this scale is rewarded, what hope is left for justice in this region? the ultimate goal, a fractured middle east, where no state is strong enough to resist, no movement unified enough to push back, but for decades in zinast israel has pursued domination under the guise of security, its tactics leaving nations in ruins, while resistance movements are cornered and silenced. unless the dots are connected, this blueprint for domination will continue to thrive, leaving millions to bear its catastrophic cost."
5:05 am
welcome to the mediast stream, i'm marthman. tonight we delve into the aftermath of the aluxa flood, a legitimate act of resistance the ziness israel manipulated to further its regional agenda. from gaza to lebanon and syria, zinus israel's unchecked aggression has reshaped the middle east violating. international law with impunity. to discuss this issue with us from beirot is venesaabi, independent journalist that resided in damascus until very recently. thank you very much for being with us and i'm very happy to see you safe vanessa now. zianis israel's recent military actions inside of syria have really escalated the tensions in the region, especially following the destabilization caused by the war. how do you view zinist israel's involvement in syria, particularly its role in supporting the recent uh surprising regime change?
5:06 am
well israel has been instrumental in supporting the regime change operations that began in 2011, but we're planned from way before 2011 of course, and israel has not only provided hospital treatment for the terrorist factions inside syria, since 2011, they have provided weapons, they have provided safe transport out of southern syria in particular, so it should come is no surprise that following the cease fire in between lebanon and israel that netanyahu should pivot towards syria to try and prevent any resupply of weapons to hezballah during the seasfire. it came as a surprise that the attack against syria actually came effectively from israeli, us, turkish and qatari proxies rather.
5:07 am
than direct bombardment by israel, well, but it seems that the region is on a tip of a escalation that we've never have seen, we've never... have seen before vanessa, and that all has to do with the fall of government in syria. what do you say about that? well, it's become apparent that the pattern of operations is first of all to isolate palestine, then to try and isolate hezbollah and lebanon, closing the borders or taking control of the borders and as i said, cutting the supply lines from syria, and also bearing in mind that syria is the main land bridge. the resistance access enabling weapons and humanitarian relief to come in from iran through iraq and into syria and then into lebanon, so it becomes very clear what the pattern is, isolation, now syria is also facing isolation from iraq, and
5:08 am
the next target we assume will be the iraki resistance, which will then take israel up to the border with iran, so the fall of... syria and its capture by terrorist, extremist, fanatic groups, many of which are foreign mercenaries, is totally in line with the zionist agender of expansionism in the region. well, vanessa syria has long been a key ally of resistance movements like hizbullah, for example, right here in lebanon. with zinus israel's interference right now in syria and support for what some call a new regime, how do you perceive the threat to syria's s i mean, what role do you believe zinus israel plays in backing the regime change, and how does this further the israeli regime's interests in basically just weakening the regional resistance? well, it becomes very obvious that under president assad, israel never dead breach the cease fire line
5:09 am
in the golan territory, the occupied syrian golan territories, since hts, let's call it, but of course, as i said, it's a coalition of of. terrorist extremist groups, many of which are foreign, since they took power, israel has expanded rapidly and escalated the conflict, or let's say the aggression against syria, because there is no conflict, now there is no group that is ready to resist israel within syria since the government and the army fell, and we've seen an expansion or an invasion up to within... 20 kilometers of damascus city center, we've seen a taking of control of coneitra, and now there is of course rhetoric about settling in the areas that they have captured within syrian sovereign territory, and included with this, of course israel has bombarded syria more than 450 times, probably 500
5:10 am
times, since the government fell in damascus destroying syria's military. structure, their capability to defend themselves, their ability to uh develop weaponry to defend themselves in the future, in resulting in a massive explosion in the coastal areas last night from israeli aggression, and of course now syrian airspace is open to the zionist warplanes, which brings them closer to iraq and to iran in the future. well, vanessa, after the... uh full of the um government in syria, it became uh the country became battleground if you will, for more than 37 armed factions, which you just mentioned, most of whom are actually foreign, each with competing agendas and their own forem backers, how do you assess the prospects for any kind of real peace really and
5:11 am
freedom in syria given the fragmented nature of the insurgency and the role of external powers including obviously signist israel in shaping the country's future, can syria? ever regain sovereignty and stability or is the nation now destined to remain divided under foreign influence? i think what you describe is the divisions and the sectarian partitioning that will will be conducted now um is the agenda of the west and of course of israel and turkey and qatar turkey and qatar already planning the pipeline that president has said had rejected in 2009 in favor of the russian iranian pipeline uh and unlike libya, it's not a vacuum, basically all of these terrorist fractions have their controllers, whether in israel, in the united states, in turkey, in qatar, and so therefore yes of course there will be a degree of partitioning and bulconization of syria, however, i think we should never discount
5:12 am
the potential for resistance, we're already seeing pockets of resistance from former syrian arab army brigades that have now formed. groups we've seen attacks on the terrorist groups in in that coastal region and i think that there will be increasing resistance attacks within syria, but for now yes, syria is in a very precarious position. well, it is something very emotional for people like us who are big supporters of the resistance, but at the same time, as you just said, vanessa, it is the hope for resistance that we started seeing and we started seeing so fast as well, which brings us a bit of hope for what's coming. next, i want to thank you very much venesaabily independent journalists for joining us to talk about the recent escalation by zienist israel. and other insurgents in syria, thank you very much for your contribution, ladies and gents, please stay tuned because next we have zionist israel threatening
5:13 am
iran. let us now discuss sinus israel's growing military footprint in syria and its water ambitions in the region as the masquets falls deeper into foreign-backed chaos the israeli regimes sights shift eastwoord with tehran emerging as its ultimate target. what does this mean for the region's stability and could this path lead to an unprecedented confrontation with iran? more details, the following report. in a carefully orchestrated strategy, foreign b factions trained and equipped by external powers made significant strides across syria, capturing key territories once held by the
5:14 am
government. as these groups advanced from idlip to aleppo, hama and thoms, a significant pause in the fighting allowed the syrian army to retreat unexpectedly, paving the way for the eventual collapse of president bashar al-assad, with serious defenses weaken, designist israel launched a full-scale aerial assault targeting airports, military bases and critical. infrastructure. this was more than just the military operation. it was a clear statement of zionist israel's intent to secure its dominance in the region. but the stakes in syria go beyond just weakening the syrian government. zinis israel's ambitions are intricately tied to broader regional goals, particularly its desire to disrupt the flow of arms and resources from iran to its allies, notably hisbullah in lebanon. for the israeli regime, syria serves as a crucial geographical. bridge connecting tehran to its regional allies. if zinos israel can gain control over the ski corridor, it could significantly
5:15 am
undermine iran's influence and disrupt the supply lines to hizbullah. this has transformed syria into a critical peace in ziness israel's broader regional puzzle, a puzzle that extends far beyond syria's borders with tehran now firmly in zionist israel's sites. as the path to tehran runs through damascus, the fall of assad could be a pivotal moment in zinus israel's. arrived to establish full control over a strategical vital region, however, the israeli occupation's path to domination has not been without obstacles. despite the progress made by foreign-backed factions, russia, a key ally of syria, has maintained its support for assad's government, though it had recently chosen a diplomatic settlement with turkey. this shift in russian policy has exposed syria to further foreign manipulation with zionist israel, the us and turkey all vying for control and influence. the increasing israeli entity presence in syria could be a precursor to a direct confrontation with iran. as the
5:16 am
israeli occupation continues to strengthen its position in syria, the question remains whether it will escalate the conflict further, igniting a much larger war that stretches from syria to iraq and potentially to iran itself. the road to tehran may indeed pass through damascus, but the consequences of this path could reshape the middle east in ways no one fully anticipates. as zinus israel presses. forward with its plan, the future of the region hangs in the balance with the potential for a much larger and more volatile conflict on the horizon. now to discuss this issue with us from beirot is mr. hamza khansa, journalist at alakhbar daily. it's a pleasure to have you with us, mr. hamza. now with zinous israel intensifying its military actions against syria and reportedly targeting supply lines critical to resistance forces in the region, how do you assess its broader strategy? is the ultimate goal merely to destabilize syria or...
5:17 am
air, transforming it into a theater of operations for various israeli entity, military and intelligence apparatuses. the overarching aim, of course, is to dismantle syria as a strategic hub in the resistance axis. today they boast of unrestricted operational freedom and zionist media outlets are beginning to leak information hinting at preparations for a strike on iran's nuclear program, neutralizing syria, a pivotal and strategic asset of the
5:18 am
resistance is one goal. the other is confronting iran and facilitating. "the strength of the resistance lies in its flexibility and its ability to continuously adapt its methods to evolving circumstances, even with the potential fall of the syrian regime, the resistance must adapt to these changes and sease opportunities from the developments in syria. who can claim for instance that iran or the various resistance forces lack opportunities, networks or certain strategic cards still
5:19 am
present in syria today? these developments might actually enhance the overall impact of the resistance. that said, we were discussing. but the zionist israelis themselves believe, however, there is much within the resistance strategy that remains concealed from the zionist israelis, undoubtedly, the resistance forces will not remain passive or stand idly by in the face of zionist schemes, whether in syria, iraq, yemen, or any region that affects their presence and freedom of action. well, mr. hamza, given that zinis israel's apparent goal of disrupting the so-called tehran, damascus beirot access, how prepared is iran to counter these? efforts: what measures can the islamic public of iran and its allies take to maintain their strategic foothold in syria in specific amits increasing israeli occupation and foreign interference. iran is directly concerned with adopting as a first step to the changes that have unfolded in syria, given that the primary objective of what has transpired there, is to
5:20 am
target tehran itself, a fact openly and explicitly stated by the zionists. iran initial priority is to adjust these developments, followed by the creation of new dynamics, movements and alternative courses of action. of course, iran will not remain silent in the face of the threats posed by the zionists. however, the coming days and the next phase will provide significant indications of the approaches tehran may adopt, whether in politics, security or military strategy, starting from the syrian arena, which has now been opened to all possibilities and directions. then iran has not yet. retaliated against the attack on its own soil, do you think that we're going to be seeing a new wave of maybe missiles against israel from iran in first in retaliation to the first attack and now in a possible retaliation to any upcoming attack against iran? iran today appears prepared with a wide range of options to counter israeli entity threats.
5:21 am
we may soon witness a new wave of confrontations between tahran zionist entity. much of this, however, depends on the nature. and intensity of zionist provocations or actions against iran. this is why iran is determined to respond with strength. the zionists have significantly narrowed their operational margins against iran in the region, increasing the likelihood of clashes, whether through security operations or direct military confrontations. such engagements could resemble the true promise 1 and true promise 2 operations, but any confrontation today would likely be far more intense than anything we've seen before. why? because designist. has escalated to an unprecedented level. they are openly discussing eliminating iran's nuclear program, claiming that now is the perfect time for such actions. however, these ambitions are heavily tied to american approval and assistance. this dynamic introduces a multi-faceted confrontation, especially if the us becomes directly involved. in this context, the islamic republic of iran has a plethera
5:22 am
of tools to counter us threats globally, not just in syria or iraq, as some analysts narrowly suggest. contrary, iran poses significant leverage, particularly when the american factor directly enters the equation. this explains why: in many instances, the us has been hesitant or has distanced itself from israeli entity threats, but today the dynamics are shifting. the american presence is stronger, and iran has both the right and the resolve to put an end to these israeli entity threats, pressuring the us to intervene and restrain the zionist actions against tehran. well, with with analysts. suggesting that zinanis israel, mr. hamzah views the road to tehran as running through damascus. do you believe a direct confrontation between zinist israel and iran is imminent and i mean direct, i mean foots on... the ground, what are the regional and global implications of such an escalation and can this can conflict really realistically be contained within syria's borders, or
5:23 am
that's maybe why we're seeing, for example blincon moving to iraq, having big meetings with regional powers, maybe they're trying to also attack iran from land, who knows? designist israelies believe they have taken an additional step toward encircling. on and increasing pressure on it, primarily through the toppling of the syrian regime and the systematic destruction the syrian army's capabilities. their aim is to transform the future syrian army into a force resembling a domestic police unit or internal security apparatus with no real military capacity. this perception emboldens designists, making them more likely to act recklessly if they feel they hold an advantage in their confrontation with iran. from another perspective, they believe that controlling syria achieves a key strategic objective. severing the link between iran and the resistance axis, particularly hisbullah. however, this is precisely where the resistance, whether in lebanon or iran continuously evolves its
5:24 am
strategies. such adaptability ensures the survival of the resistance and perpetuates the confrontation. the risks posed by the resistances ongoing rearmament and its ability to establish alternative supply routes for what zionist israel seeks to cut off are viewed by the israelis as direct threats. this in turn opens the door to a potential. confrontation between iran and the zionist entity, a confrontation that now seems increasingly likely, given zionist israel's clear threats and aggressive actions towards tehran. does that include hamzah breaking the ceasefire with zionis, israel and lebanon? is lebanon ready to handle such an escalation to break that cefire after more than 400 lebanese civilians killed more than 1500 injured? that's not counting the three.
5:25 am
and its supportive environment have endured severe challenges, including significant losses in leadership, and the number of murders, they remain steadfast. the resistance recognizes that it is inherently part of any regional confrontation that may erupt. this is because ultimately, if designists succeed in achieving their goal of toppling the islamic republic in iran, and transforming it into a puppet regime under their control, the implications would be catastrophic. such a scenario would not only mark the end of the access of resistance and its foundational pillar, the islamic republic of iran, but also the elimination of all forms of resistance across the region. it would dismantle the last bastians of defiance against the zionist entity, effectively extinguishing the palestinian cause and surrendering the entire region
5:26 am
to zionist control. this is, in essence, the new middle east envisioned by benjamin netanyahu, a zionist dominated middle east. as a result, many resistance movements across the region, including hamas and palestine, despite induring over a year of intense confrontation and substantial sacrifices, will find themselves obligated to... join the broader struggle. they understand that this fight transcends geography or national boundaries. it is a battle for the survival of the resistance project itself. whether the target is iran or lebanon, the symbolic significance of this confrontation, as led by netanyahu in his campaign against iran following the destruction of syria as a cornerstone of the resistance, remains the same. the defense of the region's sovereignty and the resistances survival. well, and the irony of it hamza is that the person who is leading all of this is a wanted. criminal called benjamin netan, thank you very much hamza khan, political analyst for joining us to talk about this very pressing issue in west asia, thank you very much for joining us, ladies and gents, thank you for watching, please do follow us on
